<h3>Why another Database Cleaner?</h3>
<p>While other database cleaners are available, my experience with them revealed areas for improvement, like outdated UIs, incomplete features, and limited data analysis capabilities.

Now, I’m dedicated to refining it to suit all types of WordPress and databases, aiming to make it the best for everyone.</p>
<p>I’m open to feedback and would be thrilled to discuss how Database Cleaner can better meet your needs. Let’s chat and enhance this tool together!</p>


Database Cleaner


for now, I can tell It works better than any other database-optimizing plugin.


‌Best plugin for database cleaning


Now THIS guy really knows what he's doing. Fantastic UI for "Easy" and "Expert". As an expert I can easily delete loads of crud from the DB, and if I'm not sure I can even look at the value of a DB entry to find out more about it. Simply perfect. And that's all in the free version! I also recommend Jordy's companion plugin Media Cleaner highly - if you want to clean orphaned files in uploads you need the Pro version - I paid for it gladly.


Features you didn't dare dream of

Worth 5 stars without a doubt.  Efficient with an easy mode as well as an expert mode that gives you a lot of possibilities.

Haven't explored the hooks provided such as for example batch assigning unknown metas/options to plugins, but overall am happy with what I saw especially compared to other db clearner plugins out there which give you very basic cleaning functionality while all the real cleaning power site behind the paid version.

Lots of cleaning power


Your plugin is much too good, the interface is super well-thought-out. It's very easy to use, and allows going very far in cleaning up databases. Keep up the good work! You rock!
